Xiaoguo only left an oil lamp beside the bed in the room. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Zhuangzhuang nestled in Xiaoguo's arms and asked her to tell him stories.
"Mom, I want to hear a story."
It’s been a while since Xiaoguo last told me a story.
Xiao Guo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about Little Red Riding Hood."
After telling the story, Zhuangzhuang still didn't feel sleepy, but felt more energetic.
"Mom, when can we go home?"
During these few days away, he missed the animals and his uncle at home.
"It's almost there." Xiao Guo touched his head and comforted him, "We'll be in the capital tomorrow, and then we'll bury grandpa and grandma. We won't stop, and then we'll go back home, okay?"
Zhuangzhuang nodded and said happily, "That's great!"
"Mom..." Zhuangzhuang suddenly thought of something and his tone sounded a little sad.
"Um?"
Xiaoguo looked down at Zhuangzhuang, not quite understanding what was wrong with him.
"Mom..." Zhuangzhuang called again, "So Daddy should also be buried with Grandpa and Grandma?"
In fact, what Zhuangzhuang wanted to ask more was why he didn’t see his father’s coffin.
Xiaoguo paused. Yes, although Jiang Shanhe died on the battlefield, he should have a cenotaph. But the original owner was too panicked at the time. She was busy burying Jiang's mother and didn't care about Jiang Shanhe. Later, she was worried about food and drink, so she forgot about it. After that, the original owner left, and she had forgotten it when she came here. Only after Zhuangzhuang reminded her did she remember it.
Jiang Shanhe's body is no longer with us, so we can only build a cenotaph for him. However, she didn't bring anything related to Jiang Shanhe on this trip, and there is no way to bury him. What should she do?
Alas, Xiaoguo sighed helplessly, it was useless even if he had not forgotten to take it, as there was no clothing of Jiang Shanhe left in the house. When the news of his death came, Jiang's mother got out of bed and burned all his clothes with her last breath, saying that he could not be left frozen.
Xiaoguo had no way to answer Zhuangzhuang's question, and Zhuangzhuang was waiting for Xiaoguo's answer. He soon fell asleep in the quiet environment. Xiaoguo covered him with a quilt and got up to blow out the candles.
But she couldn't sleep. What should she do with Jiang Shanhe's grave? He would be buried tomorrow, but she hadn't prepared anything for him. It was really her incompetence that she had forgotten about his grave.
Xiaoguo didn't sleep well the whole night and could only close his eyes and wait for dawn.
–
On the other side, Jiang Shanhe returned home, and Li Shouji took the initiative to wait for him to come back, which was rare.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Shouji sitting on a chair, crossing his legs, waiting for Jiang Shanhe.
He came here well prepared today. He had slept well and eaten well in the past few days and was full of energy, so he came to face Jiang Shanhe directly.
But Jiang Shanhe was worried at the moment and had no intention of paying attention to the mean Li Shouji. He simply ignored him and sat on the other side.
Li Shouji almost fell off the chair after getting into position. He turned around and looked at Jiang Shanhe who was in deep thought. Just like that...?
He was prepared to stay up all night to look at the fabrics, so why was he so passive?
"What's wrong?"
Li Shouji put away his sly expression and sat in front of Jiang Shanhe with a serious face. Did something happen to the troops? Or was it the emperor?
Jiang Shanhe frowned and looked up, looking at Li Shouji seriously. Li Shouji couldn't help but move closer to him, with a knot in his heart.
Jiang Shanhe looked at Li Shouji and then sneezed three times.
Li Shouji wiped his face expressionlessly and looked at Jiang Shanhe with an unclear look.
Jiang Shanhe was also a little embarrassed. He didn't do it on purpose. Who knew he suddenly sneezed three times.
Besides, physiological problems cannot be controlled, so it’s not his fault.
Even five or six Li Shoujis could not defeat the shameless Jiang Shanhe. He was well aware of this, so he snorted at him, turned around and sat down. He didn't want to bother with him.
"What do you think if I let you take over the management?"
Jiang Shanhe murmured.
"What?!"
Li Shouji looked at him in disbelief. What did this mean?
"You are the general. I know your ability and I know you are qualified for the position."
Jiang Shanhe has been thinking about this problem these days. Isn't Shao Zhan's knot because there is no one to take over his position? He is afraid that if he leaves, he will have no confidants. Moreover...
Jiang Shanhe looked at Li Shouji who rolled his eyes in front of him. Although he looked unreliable, he was a trustworthy person who would not hold back and was very decisive. If he really were to be a general, he would definitely be a competent general.
With a plan in mind, Jiang Shanhe was no longer depressed. As long as he was promoted to the position of general, Shao Zhan would definitely let him go without worry.
The more Jiang Shanhe thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He looked at Li Shouji with a look of care and concern that he had never seen before.
Li Shouji was trembling with fear when he saw this. "Hey, hey, hey, stop it. I didn't say I wanted to be a general."
"If you are promoted from a deputy general to a commander, you will become a commander. Don't be shy. You can do it."
Jiang Shanhe thought he might be shy, no! He must be shy.
The shadow that has been haunting him these days has finally disappeared. Oh, why does Li Shouji look more and more adorable the more I look at him?
Li Shouji rolled his eyes. What do you mean he is the commander-in-chief? Why is he shy? Did he say he wanted to be the commander-in-chief?
"Stop it, I don't know how to be a commander. You're leaving and leaving me alone?"
Li Shouji didn't want to stay alone at first. He was used to following Jiang Shanhe. If he wanted to go home, he would not stay alone.
"So what? You want to come home with me?"
Jiang Shanhe looked at Li Shouji sideways, as if he had asked a meaningless question.
"Yes!"
Li Shouji answered straightforwardly. He had followed him since he joined the army. He had no family, and in his heart, Jiang Shanhe was his only family. If he went home, he could be called shameless or shameless, but he would follow him back anyway.
Anyway, he had saved a lot of military pay during his years in the army, so when things really didn't work out, he bought some land opposite his house, built a house, and lived opposite him.
Looking at Li Shouji who seemed to be a bit of a rogue, Jiang Shanhe laughed and thought that he had to rely on him.
Li Shouji always acted like, "You can say whatever you want, I won't listen anyway."
Jiang Shanhe never knew that he could be so shameless. It seems that he really has become dependent on him.
The two men stared at each other without saying a word. In the end, Li Shouji surrendered first and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
Even if he is shameless, he is the only one who truly treats him as a family member...
Alas... Jiang Shanhe's sigh came...
"Strong, strong."
Xiaoguo got up at dawn and had a rare good sleep. He felt much more relaxed all over. After washing up, the waiter brought him breakfast, which was simple rice porridge, buns and eggs.
Xiaoguo put down the tray, looked at Zhuangzhuang who didn't seem to be awake at all, walked over with amusement, stretched out his hand and tickled his itchy flesh. His armpits were his itchy spots and should not be touched. Xiaoguo discovered this when she was giving him a bath one time.
"Strong? Strong?"
As a mother, Xiaoguo gave him one last chance. Looking at Zhuangzhuang who was motionless, she stretched out her magic hand helplessly. Hehe, don't blame your mother~
